Silk Road's Crooked DEA Agent Tried to Invest in My Bitcoin StartupOn November 7, 2013, about a month after the arrest of Ross Ulbricht for running the notorious darknet marketplace Silk Road, I received an email from Carl Mark Force IV, a federal agent who had worked on the case.
He wanted to become a partner in my company, an online retailer for precious metals that accepts digital currency. He sent his resume and told me not to be turned off by the whole Drug Enforcement Administration thing. "My civil service days are numbered," he wrote.
